♟ Welcome to The Outschool Gambit Chess Club where our goal is simply to have fun and get better at chess! Chess is not only fun but is also one of the best ways to develop critical thinking, good sportsmanship, and problem-solving skills. 

Once you register for this club, please read and follow the instructions in the classroom welcome message to find out how to participate in the tournament and get access to bonus free tournaments :)

==================== Why Join the Outschool Gambit Chess Club? ====================

♔ Welcome to The Outschool Gambit Chess Club, the best chess club on the internet! This is the best chess club to practice playing chess in fun and friendly weekly tournaments. Learners will get the chance to play against many different play styles and levels, and improve while having fun. At the request of students, I can also analyze their games and give feedback during the tournament.

In this chess club, I encourage players to adopt a 'growth mindset', which will show students the value of approaching every game as a learning opportunity. You either win or you learn! Good sportsmanship, good will, and a positive mindset are values that I endeavor to instill in learners and uphold in this chess club. 

This chess club is welcome to all levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. We use an algorithm that pairs players up with those of similar skill level. Players should have a good grasp of the basic chess rules. 

Please see my other course (Beginner Chess | From Zero to Checkmate) if your child is learning chess from scratch.

======================= What Will We Do? =======================

♛ In the first 5 minutes of class, we will warm up with some chess puzzles. Then we will jump into a friendly private tournament where we can practice and develop our chess skills. Our live games will be played online using the "chess.com" website. The website uses an algorithm that pairs players based on skill level. As you get better and win more games, you get to face tougher opponents! It is recommended that students register a free account before coming to their first class. 

**Please be sure to follow the instructional video on how to join the tournaments on the welcome page once you sign up.

If you are interested in a class with more theory and instruction, please check the other classes I offer below.

======================= Bonus ======================= 

♘ Members of the club will be allowed to play in any of the section tournaments happening each week at no extra cost. We currently have at least 4 tournaments per week. See the welcome message once you sign up to find out more!
